After spending the week on the beaches of Hawaii with her family during spring break, Heidi Klum comes to the rescue during a very scary event during her time on the beach today. Heidi watched her eldest son Henry get swept away in a large rip tide from the treacherous currents of the north shore while in the water with two of Heidi's live in nannies. Heidi's boyfriend and bodyguard Martin quickly came to their aid, struggling to get through the rough water himself and finally getting them close enough to the shore. Heidi immediately jumped into the water, first grabbing Henry and pulling him out, while Martin and one of the nannies crawled back on to the sand weeping for air. Heidi jumped back in the water and swam to her other kid's nanny, pulling her tired body out of the water as she struggled for air. (credit:AKM-GSI)
